Blocks not displaying

[been_1990]

Hi all...
I have several blocks on my template that dont show up when accessing the page.
On infophp I create some blocks and then try to read their content on the template index,php. But that doesn't output anything. But if I create only one block, it does. Wierd?
WB is installed in my Windows pc at localhost using xampp.

You might need to activate the blocks in the options - advanced options

It is.
Section Blocks:    Enabled 
But only one extra block works. page_content() and page_content(2).
When:

Code: [Select]

$block[2] = 'pre-footer1';Both work, when:

Code: [Select]

$block[2] = 'pre-footer1';
$block[3] = 'pre-footer2';
$block[4] = 'pre-footer3';
$block[5] = 'pre-footer4';
$block[6] = 'intro-header';None works.

Beats me ... using the same feature on www.weitzel.biz. Are you shure that the content is not "just" hidden by CSS? Maybe you should explain a bit better where it is not working and a link could help as well.

The content isn't even written to the page.
info.php:

Code: [Select]

$block[2] = 'pre-footer1';index.php:
 

Code: [Select]

    <?php echo page_content(2); ?>   
 <?php echo page_content(); ?>
Blocks enabled.
Article set to main
Article2 set to block pre-footer.

No content  comming from <?php echo page_content(2);.
Content comming from <?php echo page_content();

I can't post a link since it's a local network.

Oooops!! Apparently I have it all wrong.. WB is the most confusing CMS ever.. Admin page is horrible, a total mess...
But I really like the possibilities it expands. I'd say the only thing in WB that makes me interested is the block's feature. Took awhile to undestand it but I finnaly did. (No thanks to the admin interface, it sucks very badly...).
So apparently I was trying to load another page("page1") into Page2's block "pre-footer1". But I should actually use another section from the same page. Great!
Thanks for the help kweitzel. WB can be very wonderfull after I fully comprehend it. And how about a new admin section for next release?

And how about a new admin section for next release?

Feel free to make one ... the admin IS skinnable ...

Hello!

What do you mean with "admin section" - the whole backend, the "welcome" page in the backend, the page tree, the options in the backend...?
The admin is skinnable - have you tried the three different backend themes that are being delivered with WB 2.8.1?
The developer team of WB is keen on making it better... But they can only make it better than now they have a really good feedback, solutions how to make it better... Best would be you open some new forum thread where you post a bit more detailed ideas or even solutions.

Yours Michael

I mean the whole backend. The way everything is setup makes me think WB has nothing to offer, but it does.
But then again maybe its just me. Anyway I am thinking of skinnig it in PS, posting it , get feedback , etc..
At first glance WB seemed to me as some junky start of a CMS, I only started using it because Im designing a friends website and he uses WB. Now I might use it for future projects as well. I really like it, it offers some flexibility not present in Joomla and other CMS's. Thanks for all the hard work guys.
